Sweet Things About This Blog

As I was reading Jules' last post, I realized there are several sweet things about this blog:

1) We update it less than once a month.

2) We have 3 followers

3) Those 3 followers are actually people we blog about, which means, they end up reading about something they already did...a month later.

For example- we always blog about how we never blog. Which, as our readers, you already know. Its like we needed to remind you in case you thought there was something wrong with your RSS feed. There isn't.

So, Im breaking the trend and blogging about something is has yet to happen! Its an announcement that only 33% of our reader base already knows about. For the rest of you, this is as good as the blog will ever get. Well this, and when Julia posts about Christmas geese.

And, since this blog has a running bend, I thought it would be apropo to announce that Drew and I are doing a half marathon in San Francisco in two weeks. Neither of us ever run. Not fair. We run about as often as I blog. So, while Julia worried about snow impacting her training plan, I worry about the fact that I don't even have a training plan. But, we got 50% off the entry fee- so we decided that the savings was more important than the training. I love deals.

On an unrelated note, whenever I think about having to run the race- the Space Jams theme song ("welcome to the space jam...") starts playing in my head. Bodes well...

Congrats on completing your half. Please do not put a 13.1 sticker on your car.

We couldn't be friends then.

And we're back!

Greetings to my many (read: 3-4) blog readers!

I know what you're thinking. "Silly Julia, thinking she could keep up with this blog thing".

I admit, I did fall off the horse a little bit. But, I'm back! Hooray!

Some of my loyal followers (read: 3-4) may remember that the Jaimester (read: Jaime from the beach) and I are going on a short (read: 13.1 miles) jaunt this weekend through Virginia Beach. Yes, it's true, the day of the Virginia Beach Shamrock and Roll Yuengling Free Beer Run not Walk Half Marathon is finally upon us. And I'm excited!

Some of you may have noticed that Baltimurder received a slight snow shower in February, and, I'll admit, it took a toll on my running. Not a lover of the treadmill (dangerous and tricky when an iPod is involved), I chose the sit-on-the-couch-and-watch-office-reruns-and-drink-wine option instead. Please note I chose wine instead of beer. Health benefits. Almost as many health benefits as Hobbs and her pita chips.

Jaime and I ran a 14k race in Virginia beach over Valentine's day weekend, which was splendid and served two purposes:

1. Free beer.

2. To remind us that, yes, we were physically capable of running 14 kilometers (~9 miles).

This is Schooner, Scotty's race-watching buddy. He doesn't love sharing his car space with balloons though. (Free heart-shaped balloons that we got from the race because we are so awesome)

So while I'm still a little disappointed that Hobs won't be running with us this weekend, I'm still pretty excited.

Also, a shout out to my friend P. Riley, who ran a 2:31:28 marathon this weekend! Way to PR, PR!

Since I've done my running for the day, it seems that green-beer thirty is finally upon us.

Wish us luck this weekend!

Cheers!
